SCRAP is in the midst of a campaign to raise the money necessary to replace our aging vehicle.

We have applied for grants to cover our cost for the eVan, but they are not yet assured. So, here’s how you can help. We have set up a special fund for the eVan, and I’m asking you to help us move into the age of electric transportation. Please click HEREto donate to our eVan fund. We need this vehicle and we need your help.

To make this more fun, in late September we’ll have a drawing from among everyone who contributes and choose one lucky donor to get a ride in the new SCRAP eMobile. The van only has seating for one person, but we’ll also bring a picnic for up to six guests of the donor’s choosing, anywhere in San Francisco or within ten miles of SCRAP. To participate in the drawing, you’ll need to use the special PayPal link HERE, or note “eVan Fund” on your check.

Imagine us driving this emissions-free electric van to pick up YOUR donation.

Major donors ($1000 or more) will be acknowledged permanently at SCRAP and in our newsletters. But we appreciate your gift of any size, and hope you’ll enjoy the satisfaction of helping SCRAP continue to offer free donation pickups in our new, environmentally-approved electric truck.
